Please forward to potentially interested parties:
Original essays are invited for a collection tentatively entitled "Media
Literacy, Media Democracy: The Audience in the Information Age." The reader
will be organized around several orienting questions: What is media
literacy? What does it mean to be media literate? Why is media literacy
important? What is the impact of the mass media? What are the political
potentials of new media?
Ideally this collection will be suitable for use at both undergraduate and
graduate levels in a number of disciplines, including media studies,
cultural studies, gender studies, etc.
Possible submissions may address the above questions, but may also include
such subjects as: analyses of media eduction projects and models; media
criticism; the role and responsibility of educators, the media, parents,
and the state; gender and media impact; youth and media impact; and issues
of "new" and "hyper-" media.
Any number of methodological approaches are appropriate and not limited to:
Sociology, Textual Analysis, Anthropology, Culture Studies, Historical
Analysis, Psychology, Folklore, etc.
Please submit 2-page proposals or completed manuscripts (MLA style, 15-25
pages in length) to:
